Usually don't need to change the radio station because I tend to only turn on channels with music I like (classical, rock, etc.)

Same here. My radio is always tuned on ABC Classic FM...

Ditto with Britain's Classic FM. I don't have the pop radio stations on- hate them. There are only 2 pieces of music Classic FM play that I have to turn the sound off on cos they are scary- that horrible Au Fortuna and some scary organ music (Bach I think).

Haha this is a funny thread. It's kind of a hater thread if you think about it but then again everybody is entitled to their own opinions right?

I like and dislike just about everything. I don't think there has been anything in recent memory though that has made me cringe more than hearing just a few of the extended duration high notes on just about anything that Clay Aiken sings. It just sounds like off-key Tarzan screams to me.

Just goes to show how our tastes differ-- I adore the 'scary' organ music! The song that makes me crazy is "Turn around bright eyes". Not sure if that's the name of the song, but it goes on and on and on. And just when you think it's finally over, it changes key yet again and goes into another verse.

I don't know what the Bach organ music is called but it's one of those big church organs. You should see me run to the radio when it comes on LOL.

My Grandad had an old pedal organ in his front sitting room that made a woo hoo sound when I was a child. Grandad passed in the early 1980s. It was a bit spooky but I liked playing around on it. Dad sold it after he went. I was sad as I wanted it!

I think I could also change the title to "songs that make you walk out of a shop". I cannot stand it when I enter a shop and they are playing music like rap. I really walk out. Unfortunately it is more difficult with the bus because sometimes I am in a hurry and cannot wait for the next bus...

Shops never play Classical music! Always bad rubbish never Beethoven! I was in an 1800s house that's a museum/gallery last summer and they had a display of Georgian, Regency and early Victorian dresses...I walked in and there was a sound system playing Beethoven. It was so atmospheric.

I remember that once they were playing classical music in the waiting room of my doc, and somebody stood up and changed the station! He was sitting right next to me and when he came back he said: "Who likes that classical crap?" And I laughed (although I felt like punching him) and said I did... And he said" "Oh, I am sorry! Would you like me to change it back?" But I said it was not necessary. I think I should have said YES!
